Nicknamed The Package, he has kicked 160 goals in 89 games since his 2013 debut at the Bulldogs.

Essendon, Geelong and St Kilda all have expressed initial interest in trading for Stringer.

Beveridge would not go into details about why the Bulldogs will trade Stringer, but there has been plenty of talk about the player's attitude towards football and off-field issues.

"First and foremost I operate from a platform of care and duty to our players and I've got to look after the whole group," Beveridge said.

"But when it comes to the point where both parties are saying maybe it's best to explore somewhere else, it means then it's right for that individual, but it's also right for the group he's going to leave behind."

The coach also noted that Stringer remains under contract.

"We're not going to just say 'here you go, you can have Jake Stringer'," Beveridge warned.

"We've said to him, 'you're going to play here mate if no one is going to treat you with the respect you should have as far as what you have achieved, because we need to do what's right for the club as much as you as well'.
